New Body Cam Video Released: Swat Team Can Be Heard Saying “She’s Done” After Checking On Breonna Taylor Following Raid
Louisville PD has just released body cam videos from several SWAT officers, showing what went down in Breonna Taylor’s home just moments after she was shot to death by police.
The disturbing video obtained by TMZ shows Breonna Taylor’s motionless body on the floor for several minutes as a SWAT team cleared her apartment, then checked for a pulse before repeatedly stating, “She’s done.”
The clips starts off with SWAT preparing to enter the home. One cop says, “The female is supposedly the one that’s shot” — speaking of Breonna. Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had already stepped out and surrendered. As they entered her apartment, cops immediately called out that Breonna was at the end of the hallway. However, SWAT took several more minutes to clear other parts of the apartment before addressing Breonna, saying, “Ma’am, can you hear us?” From there, one officer told another to check her pulse. Moments later, the cop declared, “She’s done.” Several SWAT members then left the apartment so crime scene investigators and a medic could come inside the home.
In the footage, the SWAT team also inspected shell casings on the floor, confirming they were from police weapons after trying to figure out whether they were from Walker’s gun. As we previously reported, Walker injured one Louisville cop, Jonathan Mattingly during the raid. He said he had no idea who was entering their home when he fired his gun. Body cam video from outside their apparent shows Walker, through tears, declaring to police that Breonna was dead inside, and that they had no idea who was entering the apartment.
Cops forced entry into the apartment as part of an investigation into drug dealing operations. They found nothing but Taylor was hit by six bullets and died. Despite the heartbreak and trauma Taylor’s death has caused her family and America, the officers responsible for her death were only given light charges. Brett Hankison was charged with wanton endangerment for firing shots into a neighboring apartment.
